My son is a single parent of 4 children .
Mother of children is alcoholic.
Due to domestic abuse she is not allowed to family home . All family have been through social services system due to the circumstances!
However this all happened 18 months ago.
One of the girls who mother drank heavily with whilst pregnant wears hearing aids. Does really well at school good grades ...musical ...writes brilliant stories, has always been different to other children .
She's now been caught by dad looking at porn on her phone ...........
This was discussed with her about how not acceptable she's 13 years old.
She does not mix well and struggles in social situations.....when young members of family visit she always takes herself off to bedroom she shares with younger sister.
When family all together after school she does the same.
Accept young people want time away but this is getting all the time .
She was on a phone ban for 6 weeks and this week Dad returned her phone to her on trust.
Now she has put a horrendous statement up on snap chat which was seen by another teenager who let her older sister know.
Dad went into phone checked through and some really disgusting statements made by her about herself .........some of which sound exactly as the sort of things mum would say when in drink....eg I am a whore ....I am having sex ..... ect.
I as grand mother am very concerned for her .
She can be a very stubborn and when shown what was there denied it was her .......in fact lying has become very easy to her.
Any help or suggestions please .

It sounds like she needs some professional support, as does your DS in how to handle it. GP would be a start and ask for a referral to CAHMS, also speak to school to see if they've noticed any problems and ask what pastoral care they can offer too.

It sounds like some family therapy would be really useful here. I'd suggest starting with the GP for a referral to local CAHMS.
